Zenaida auriculata auriculata
It's a 24-cm-long dove with a long wedge-shaped tail. Adult males, olive-brown upperpart plumage and black spots on the wings. The head has a grey crown, black line behind the eye, and the blue-black on the lower ear coverts.
It is a resident breeder throughout South America from Colombia to southern Argentina and Chile.
I found this nest in my garden.
